Movies 2021, and their Release Dates in Kenyan Cinemas

If you are reading this, we truly appreciate it and encourage you to save the dates, share this article with others and keep checking here for an updated list as changes come along.

This year’s list of cinematic releases will be slightly different. How you ask? Well first the list will feature special mentions: these are movies with a high profile, and with a hybrid release pattern. This means that they will release on specific streaming platforms in the USA (HBO Max, Netflix or Disney+), but in regions such as ours where those platforms aren’t officially available yet, the films will release in cinema.

A second unique addition to this year’s list is highlighting Movie Jabber events occurring at certain months of the year. This should help you plan yourself, especially for when one of our events coincide with a big cinematic adventure!

The dates on the left, unless otherwise indicated, are the release dates in cinema here in Kenya. and those dates fall on a Friday. Are you ready? here we go!
